Lakeview Place, located at 515 East Orange Street in Lakeland, FL, sits within walking distance of downtown shops, restaurants, and beautiful parks like Hollis Gardens and Barnett Family Park, plus it's got Lake Morton on one side and Lake Mirror on the other, so those who like a stroll or scenery can find it nearby, and it's also not far from cultural spots like the Lakeland Little Theater and the Magnolia Center for ballroom dancing. This community offers studio and one-bedroom apartments, both private and semi-private, each designed to be bright, airy, and comfortable, with some built to meet the specific needs of people with limited mobility, and you'll find amenities like a laundry center, free Wi-Fi, and a cozy seating area where residents gather for social events. Lakeview Place has 62+ lifestyle options, so older adults can choose independent living if they're still active and want more freedom, or they can use assisted living, memory care for those dealing with Alzheimer's or other dementia conditions, respite care for short stays, and even nursing home and continuing care services, which cover a wide range of care needs.
Residents get important support, like meals prepared by chefs and meal planners who focus on using good quality ingredients and making sure the food is balanced for health, so folks don't have to spend time or money cooking for themselves, and people with diabetes have special help available for insulin monitoring. The staff's around 24 hours a day for help in emergencies, and they know how to help move residents safely from a bed to a wheelchair if needed, which offers peace of mind if someone's health changes suddenly. For payment, Lakeview Place accepts Medicaid, offers various payment options, and provides clear details about community fees, respite fees, pet deposits ($300 for studios and one-bedrooms), and security deposits set at one month's rent, plus there's an affordable housing toolkit for those looking to plan. The facility also makes it simple to schedule a tour if families want to see the rooms or talk to staff and residents before deciding.
The place has a long-standing religious affiliation with Lakeview Presbyterian Homes, Inc., and it's a member of the Presbyterian Association of Homes and Services for the Aging since 2016, which adds a spiritual and community focus, offering devotional activities alongside daily programs that keep residents moving, socializing, or involved in something meaningful, whether it's something on site or an offsite trip. They do group purchasing for their members, offer disaster recovery resources, and can provide guides about aging, dementia-friendly environments, and senior living in general, including a guide for older adult ministry from POAMN.
Inside, the facility has common indoor spaces and a large multipurpose room with a cozy feel, encouraging neighbors to spend time together, play games, or join in daily activities, and staff members are known for being friendly and helpful, helping to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that's been recognized with awards for Best Meals and Dining, Best Activities, and Most Friendly in Senior Living. For those who'd rather live at home, Lakeview Place even offers home care services with trained aides who provide companionship and non-medical care.
Room and floor plan choices fit different needs, with special accommodations for those who use wheelchairs or walkers, and they also have a group purchasing program so residents can get supplies together, which helps save money. Everything is planned to support independence for as long as possible, but help's always near if someone needs extra support, like managing medication, bathing, or memory care therapies designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering. The location, with its easy access to parks, local culture, and shopping, rounds out a package meant to help seniors keep a certain level of comfort, health, and community as they age.
